Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4, 1/2oz Gold fishing spoon #9154

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this solid metal spoon features a high-visibility gold finish designed to flash even in low-light conditions. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the Luhr Jensen Krocodile Die #4 is constructed from heavy-gauge brass, which provides the density necessary for reaching impressive distances during long casts. The convex face of the lure is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name and the model identifier, confirming its American-made origin. For rigging, it features a gold-tone barrel swivel attached via a split ring to prevent line twist, while the trailing end holds a sharp treble hook secured by a matching heavy-duty split ring. This specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with the reflective surfaces and hardware showing no signs of use. Its narrow, thick profile makes it a versatile choice for both casting from piers and trolling at specific depths.
